Considering how loose she felt, that sounded ideal. “I would love it.”
Logan put himself between her and the rock and positioned Jackie between his thighs with her back to his chest.
In her warm cocoon, Jackie felt safe and so comfortable. Definitely a sensations she wanted more of. Logan wrapped his arms around her shoulders with a happy-sounding sigh.
“This is nice, isn’t it?” His voice rumbled through her.
“It is.” Jackie let her head tip to rest against his shoulder.
“So have I convinced you to come to my suite with me?”
She slumped to the side a bit to look up at him. “So that was your ploy, was it?”
“You caught me.” He chuckled.
It was so simple. They complemented each other so well. Logan felt right. She felt right when she was with him.
They sat quietly for a long while. For Jackie, it was incredibly soothing to listen to the waves and Logan’s steady heartbeat.
He lowered his nose to her hair and inhaled deeply. “You smell wonderful.”
Jackie giggled. “You don’t smell so bad yourself.”
He froze.
“What?”
“I think I hear someone coming our way.”
Logan quickly got to his feet and helped Jackie do the same. They were up and with the clothes righted just as another couple rounded the rock.
“Oh!” The woman almost tripped over her man in her surprise. “Sorry.”
“It’s all yours.” Logan took Jackie’s hand and led her away. When they were out of earshot he leaned closer. “Was that the same couple from the beach?”
Jackie pressed her hand to her mouth to quieten the laugh. “I have no idea. Could be.”
“I guess he’s trying to make it up to her.”
She snickered. “If he was trying to make it up to her he might have rethought the sand.”
“I never hear you complain.”
“Because you don’t give me anything to complain about while we’re on the sand. That guy, on the other hand…”
His laughter joined hers. “Well, I’m glad to hear you have no complaints. I’m quite proud, actually.”
She looked at the way his chest had puffed up. “You don’t say.”
“So I take pride in my ability to please you. So sue me.”
She just hoped she made him feel the same way.
When they reached the point where sand met stone, they paused so she could put her shoes back on, then they slowly wandered along the paths back up to his suite.
Finally, Jackie felt as though she was on vacation.
Like she was more than just a shadow of a person.
Chapter Ten
Logan woke with his limbs tangled with Jackie’s. He felt something that he could only call contentedness suffusing his entire being. Would every morning be like this waking up next to Jackie?
Not that the night was worse. They’d made love long into the early hours and it had been sublime. Jackie had been with him every step of the way. Her response to him was nothing short of incredible. She made him feel like a god.
A feeling he wouldn’t mind experiencing again.
Logan nuzzled her neck and smiled when her breathing changed rhythm and she arched into his body.
“Good morning.” He grazed the delicate skin of her throat with his teeth. “Sleep well?”
She sighed. “Very.” Jackie rolled over to give him a sleepy smile. “But that shouldn’t be surprising considering the workout I had the night before.”
Logan gave her a lingering kiss, which she returned wholeheartedly, winding herself around him.
She chuckled when her hand grazed his burgeoning erection. “Feels like you’re about ready for another round.”
“Only if you’re interested.”
Jackie kissed him slowly teasing him with her tongue. “I think I can be persuaded.”
“That’s what I like to hear.”
He cupped her breasts and slid down to kiss one then the other. “You are gorgeous.”
Jackie laughed. “Right.”
“You are!” He sucked a nipple between his lips and flicked her with his tongue before he said, “And absolutely delicious.”
The way she was smiling was contagious, but he could see she wasn’t fully convinced. If she didn’t believe him, he’d just have to prove to her that he found her irresistible.
Logan lavished attention on her breasts for a while longer. Not that it was any hardship. He kissed a path down from the valley between her breasts to her belly button. Then farther down.
Jackie readily parted her thighs for him allowing him access to do whatever he liked. His chest felt full that she was giving herself to him so freely now.
He took a moment to look at her glistening folds. So pretty. Logan pressed his lips to her, using his tongue to gently find her clit.
“Logan…”
Jackie‘s thighs quaked as he sucked her clit rhythmically.
Her escalating cries were music to his ears until she reached her peak and screamed her release.
His cock throbbed when he slid back up her body. Logan couldn’t get enough of her. He found it wasn’t just his body that constantly craved more of Jackie. He wanted her there when she wasn’t around.
He fished a condom out of the bedside table and rolled it on. Jackie surprised him by shoving him over and straddling his hips. Her mischievous smile had him wondering what she planned.
Jackie gazed down at Logan, admiring his handsome face and superb body. And he was at her mercy.
The possibilities running through her mind were delicious, but she was most interested in another orgasm and this time making it mutual.
She angled him just so and slid him back and forth over her slit, lubricating the broad head of his cock with her juices. Logan lay beneath her, surprisingly docile. He was usually the aggressor, and she wasn’t sure just how he would take her assuming the more dominant role.
From the way he was smiling, Logan seemed to like it.
Jackie slowly slid herself down his erection, impaling herself upon him. The sensation of his stretching her, filling her so completely, was a wonder in itself. When he was a deep as he could go, she angled her hips to take him just a little farther.
She paused a moment to savor how he felt embedded so far inside her.
Logan groaned, rocking his hips slightly forcing her to move to keep balance, which earned her another moan from him. “You’re killing me, Jackie.”
He wasn’t the only one. She needed this as much as he did.
She rose up on her knees a little and dropped down onto him. Jackie did it experimentally a few times, before Logan gripped her hips and pulled her down over him—hard. It sent shock waves through her, and her breath caught in her lungs.
Logan guided her movements, helping her find a rhythm and showing her how to please them both.
He watched her with heavy lidded eyes, his lips parting as his own breathing quickened. “I hope you’re almost there, because I’m getting close.”
As if he had to ask. Jackie closed her eyes as she let her head fall back. She orgasmed with a keening cry as he surged into her and reached his own peak with a shout.
She dropped forward to rest against his chest. His rapid heartbeat and breath mirrored her own.
Logan wrapped his arms around her. “That’s certainly one way to wake up.”
She laughed and tried to slide off him, but he wouldn’t let her budge.
“Just a minute longer,” he grumbled.
Jackie relented, enjoying the connection as much as he obviously did.
“What time is it?”
“Don’t know. Don’t care.”
She could barely make herself care too, but they did have a schedule to keep to, at least until after the rehearsal. Then they were free to do whatever they liked. Which reminded her about his mysterious plans for today.
“What have you got planned for us today?”
&nb
sp; He cracked open one eye. “You’ll have to wait and see.”
“You’re infuriating, you know that?”
“I know of a way to change that opinion if you’re willing to give me a few minutes to recuperate.”
“Funny.” He was, though, and she was smiling when she slid off him to nestle against his side.
They had left the doors open, and she could clearly see the sky had just begun to brighten. They had more than enough time to laze around for a while.
“I’m just going to tidy myself up.” Logan slid out of bed and walked to the bathroom. He stuck his head out. “You can always join me for a shower.”
She wondered what his shower would be like. The one in her room was fantastic. His could only be mind-blowing.
“I’ll be right there.” She gave him a few minutes before she walked in.
As she suspected, the room was much larger than hers. The rough stone and large windows gave the room the feel of being in nature while at the same time still protecting the modesty of anyone within.
The shower was situated above the huge sunken tub and Logan had already turned the water to cascade hard and fast from the massive shower head directly above.
“Well, your bathroom definitely trumps mine.”
He laughed as he took her hand and helped her into the tub. Made of stone as it was, the tub had been polished smooth and felt warm and satiny to the touch.
He stood at the side watching the water run down her body for a moment before there was a knock at the door.
“It’s a bit early for someone to be knocking, isn’t it?”
The smile on his face piqued her curiosity but he held up his hand. “Stay there. I’ll be right back.” He made sure she wasn’t about to move before wrapping a towel around himself and going to answer.
What did he have up his sleeve this time?
Jackie wanted to give into her curiosity, but held off. Whatever he had planned was important enough for him to plan it this early. She’d let him have it. She reached for the hotel’s signature toiletries. The large frosted aqua-blue bottles were capped with silver seashells. She found the body wash, shampoo and conditioner, and dragged them all closer, along with the softest washcloths she’d ever touched.
By the time she had washed and conditioned her hair, Logan had reappeared.
He dropped his towel, and she nearly dropped the bottle she had just picked up.
With a grin he stepped in next to her. “Let me help.”
She let her eyes drift close as he slathered the body wash over her skin. He traced patterns on her skin with his big, warm hands, slowing to spend much of his time on her breasts, her ass, between her thighs.
Jackie captured globs of foam and glided her hands over him, wanting to tease and torture him as much as she was her.
“So, have you got what you wanted sorted in the other room?” She grazed her hand over his ass.
“Nice try.” Logan cupped her breasts, squeezing them gently.
“I was just asking a question.” She blinked up at him innocently as she soaped his thighs.
He flicked his thumbs over her nipples, coaxing them into hard points. “Uh huh. Right.”
Jackie circled his groin, staying well away from his rigid erection. Instead, she raked her nails over his rippling abs and up to graze his pecs. She followed up with her tongue, licking the water from his skin before lightly biting his nipple.
“You can torture me all you like, you’re getting nothing.” He grinned at her—clearly her method of ‘torture’ was pleasurable to him.
She would see how long he’d last if she pushed him a little further. Jackie slid down his body, letting her hands bump over his muscles as she went. Holding his gaze, she licked her lips and grasped his erection in her hand, cupping his balls with her other.
“Torture me all you want. I’m not telling you a thing,” he rasped.
A chuckle bubbled up her throat as she flicked her tongue over the tip of his erection and a shudder rippled through him. When she closed her mouth over the broad head of his cock and sucked, he wobbled a little. She smiled at him again before she began sucking and bobbing her head in earnest.
Logan groaned and gripped her hair to quicken her pace when she added her hands to the mix. She pushed him to the edge of his control as quickly as he was able to do to her.
It didn’t take long before she felt his balls draw up in her hand and his cock grow bigger, harder, in her mouth. Logan dragged her forward, driving himself deeply as he came on a shuddering moan of her name.
Jackie swallowed his release as quickly as she could, but felt some escape and slide down her chin. When his orgasm finally wound down he slipped himself from her mouth and smiled at her, biting his bottom lip as he wiped his thumb over hers. He dragged his cum back to her mouth and she licked it off with long strokes of her tongue.
“God, Jackie. You have no idea what you do to me.”
Logan dragged her up so he could wind his arms around her. Pressed tightly against him, Jackie listened to the thudding of his heart.
He angled them under the shower, fully rinsing off what remained of the suds.
Logan picked her up and stepped up out of the shower to gather her up in a thick, luxurious towel that might as well have been a blanket. Wrapping it around herself, she tucked it securely between her breasts and watched as he clung his around his lean hips.
It was when he turned off the shower that she heard the music coming from the other room.
Jackie gave him a questioning glance as she opened the door to get a peek.
Housekeeping had obviously been there. The room had been tidied, the bed made, and the flowers swapped out for another vivid array. What surprised her was set up in the bedroom was a massage table and a little table laden with bottles of oil. Incense burned from sticks dotted around the room and music that matched what had played at the spa came from speakers hidden from her view.
“So what do you think?”
How could she not like it? “It’s wonderful.”
“I figured we could get one of my fantasies out of my system.”
“Naked all day?”
“As much of the day as we can manage.” He wiggled his eyebrows. “We can get some breakfast. Head to the rehearsal then hurry back here.”
Laughing, she walked into his waiting arms. “Sounds perfect.” And it would get her fantasy of him massaging her properly to become a reality as well.
“Did you want room service or should we head down to the restaurant?”
“Maybe we should stretch our legs for a bit?” Jackie didn’t foresee them being on their feet much for the rest of the day. At least they wouldn’t if she had her way.
Jackie couldn’t keep the smile from curving her lips. Even when she realized that the only thing she had to wear was the dress from the night before, it couldn’t be wiped from her face.
She slipped into the dress and turned so he could help zip her up. Which he did without fail. But instead of letting her go, he pulled her in for a bear hug. Jackie laughed as she tried to wriggle out of his grasp. “I’ve got to go back to my suite for a change of clothes.”
“I suppose wearing something of mine would be out of the question.”
Jackie could only imagine what kind of response that would cause. It would be just as bad, if not worse, than if she wore the same dress again.
“I’ll meet you downstairs.”
Logan rasped his stubble against her neck. “Hurry.”
Giving him a quick kiss and making sure to draw back before things got out of hand, she rushed to her room. The thought of Logan being so impatient to be with her again made her smile. Being wanted by someone she wanted just as much felt wonderful.
She dashed through the halls and pathways. Trying to keep her gait quick but as dignified as possible was hard, considering she just wanted to sprint as fast as she could to get to her room, get changed and meet up with him again.
On the way, she got a tex
t from Caroline saying that she needed to speak with her urgently. Jackie knew she should reply, but her friend would just have to wait. At least until she got changed. With one day to go, Caroline was probably in a panicked state.
Images of what she would be like in Caroline’s place if she was getting ready to marry Logan flitted into her mind. Would she be as freaked out as her friend? She wanted to believe that she would be as happy, calm and content as she was in that moment.
But she was jumping way ahead.
She rushed into her suite and dug through her suitcase for something casual yet cute. The best she could come up with was a pair of dark, wide-legged trousers that could do with an ironing and a floaty pink top. They would have to do for today. It wasn’t like she was walking a runway at a fashion show.
She changed, carefully putting the dress Logan bought her back into the garment bag and delicately replacing the shoes in their box.
Jackie pulled her hair back into a ponytail and applied makeup lightly, enough to accentuate.
It took a second to give herself one last look before she grabbed her purse and strode out. She texted Caroline with the usual affirmations and a promise to meet up later. More specifically, that evening.
She shoved her phone into her purse just as she reached the restaurant. It occurred to her that she hadn’t specified which restaurant, and yet Logan had come to the right one and got them a table near the aquarium.
He stood as she approached. He had shaved and was now dressed in a white button-down and a pair of jeans. Logan looked great. So handsome.
He gave her a peck on the cheek before guiding her to the seat next to his. “I ordered for you. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Not at all.” She settled in and took a sip of the ice water waiting for her. Toying with the lemon slice on the surface, she looked at him. “So what did you order?”
“Crepes and coffee. Is that good for you?”
“Wonderful.”
He took her hand and tangled his fingers with hers. That was it. Just seeking contact with her. It was as though it was something they did every day. It was comfortable.
